Spina Bifida Holiday Party

Today we attended the Spina Bifida of Colorado Association Holiday party. It was so nice for us to meet other families who have already traveled this journey before us. It was a small dose of reality to see that yes, these kids have medical problems, some of them use walkers, some of them use crutches, and some are even in wheelchairs, but behind all that they are just kids. Just as Evan is just a sweet baby boy. I know that he will be able to someday accomplish whatever he wants. Not having your legs work doesn't mean that you can't be a doctor, or a lawyer, or...whatever he dreams to be. Lauren made many new friends and had a great time decorating cookies and making crafts. Best of all, Santa showed up with gifts for all the kids.

Back to Normal

It's amazing to think that Evan has now been home longer than he was in the NICU. He is already 8 weeks old and it is hard to remember what it was like before he joined our family. It finally feels we are living a normal life again. We are incredibly lucky to have such a good baby. He sleeps really well and so far has been an easy baby ( I probably just jinxed it). Lauren is getting excited for Christmas. Her letter to Santa has been written and the tree is up and decorated.

Yesterday we went to a birthday party and Lauren went on a sled pulled by dogs, then she and I went on a horse drawn carriage.
